Tips for Leveraging 529 Education Savings Plans
A 529 Education Savings Plan can be a great way to save for your children's or grandchildren’s education. Below are some of the key benefits of a 529 plan:
- Some states allow a tax deduction from (or credit against) state taxes for all or part of your contributions and will not pay any federal tax on earnings as long as the proceeds are used for a qualified education expense.
- The account owner maintains control of the account and determines the amount and timing of distributions.
- There are no income limits, and 529 plans have no time or age limits on contributions or withdrawals.

We’re very excited to announce our founding partner, Doug Velnoskey, has been named a Forbes Best-In-State Wealth Advisor for 2024. This is the 5th year in a row Doug has been honored by Forbes and their partner, Shook Research. Please join us in congratulating him on this important achievement!
Forbes Best-in-State Wealth Management Teams ranking was developed by SHOOK Research and is based on in-person, virtual and telephone due diligence meetings and a ranking algorithm that includes: a measure of each team’s best practices, client retention, industry experience, review of compliance records, firm nominations; and quantitative criteria, including: assets under management and revenue generated for their firms. Investment performance is not a criterion because client objectives and risk tolerances vary, and advisors rarely have audited performance reports. SHOOK’s research and rankings provide opinions intended to help investors choose the right financial advisor and team, and are not indicative of future performance or representative of any one client’s experience. Past performance is not an indication of future results. Neither Forbes nor SHOOK Research receive compensation in exchange for placement on the ranking.
